Panic, even from this seasoned traveler. Now christmas looked unlikely. Ay rebooked me instantly for tomorrow, so ill be home at xmas eve. Waiting for my temporary passport right now at park and 57th. Have filed with the tlc about the briefcase ans will file a report with the police later today.
Good luck. I recall the sickening feeling I got when I had my wallet and passport stolen in Prague. No money, no way to get home

Hope you get back for Christmas.
